Turn Double Line Layers On (and 3D Layers Off)

The Turn Double Line Layers On (and 3D Layers Off) command turns on the double line representations and turns off the 3D representations of conduits and cable trays.

The double line and 3D representations of conduits and cable trays are drawn slightly different. Viewing both of them at the same time can make it difficult to see what is drawn. Turning one on and the other off makes it easier to see the design.

Use this command to view the conduits and cable trays while in plan view.

To turn on the double line and turn off the 3D conduits and cable trays, go to
Ribbon: DM Electrical→3D-BIM→  Turn Double Line Layers On (and 3D Layers Off)
Pulldown Menu: DM Electrical→Layer Management→Turn Double Line Layers On (and 3D Layers Off)

The double line conduit and cable tray layers will be turned on and visible on the drawing.

If this command is run while in a paper space viewport, the VP Freeze setting for the double line layers will be changed to Thawed.

The 3D conduit and cable tray layers will be turned off and not visible on the drawing.

If this command is run while in a paper space viewport, the VP Freeze setting for the 3D layers will be changed to Frozen.
